So this was the shawl that turned into another shawl that then was started as a tank top which then had designs as a beach cover up but finally found life as a boring old cardigan which is my favorite of all its incarnations ( really crummy picture I know, but derek the photographer is in France).

So just how many times can Blue heron rayon metallic yarn be frogged? you count… This yarn is amazing. I still want to do a beach coverup though but somehow this rather ordinary cardigan felt right and looks great on.

Have also just finished a project for Rio de la Plata- but I’d better get it to Mauricio before showing it here..

here’s annabel in our stand at the creative crafts show in somerset-she’s sporting a new Blue Heron cardi-knitted in the cotten Texture yarn and trimmed in Beaded Metallic. I was pleased with the results of the show-especially considering this was our first venture into the realm of knitting shows and this particular one seemed heavily weighted towards card and scrap bookers. best sellers were the soft spun alpaca/merino, sock yarns and Rio de la plata yarns.The Blue Heron yarns were a big draw into the stand-

We met lots of lovely knitters and made some new client friends so hopefully will return to this area.

I LOVED SOMERSET- the area was just stunning and reminded me of New England (southern vermont esp.)For the 5 days we rented a lovely cottage and could look out at the adorable sheepies from the patio. this was our view

I was dismayed by the lack of interest in the needlepoint canvases- where are all the fine tapestry lovers?
